The official last round of the tournament, but many postponed games have yet to be played, so the event may take a few more weeks to be finalised. Only three games were actually played on this night.

The crunch game was undoubtebly the encounter between 7 time champion Kevin Perrin and 4 time champion Patrick Cook. A win for Patrick would confirm him as the 2005 club champion, while a draw or a win for Kevin would give him excellent chances of adding another championship to his record.

The game was a Queens Indian Defence, fianchetto variation. Neither player gained an edge from the opening, so the struggle in the early middlegame was tense, revolving around Kevin's pawn majority in the centre versus Patrick's on the queenside. Late in the middlegame, Patrick grabbed a central passed pawn to gain a grip on the game and followed up with a direct attack on Kevin's King. The game ended with an elegant combination after Kevin unwisely grabbed a sacrificed knight only to find himself caught in a mating net. Thus Patrick Cook, 2nd seed, is confirmed as the 2005 Ballarat Chess Club champion.

Darren Young met Peter Miitel and played the ancient Bishop's opening. The game was very even for the first 14 moves. White then won a pawn which prompted Peter to immediately resign; a strange decision that nevertheless gave Darren his first point for the tournament.

John Frangakis versus Tim Commons was an important game for the reserves championship race. A non-descript Queen Pawn Opening, both bishop pairs came off early, resulting in a manovering game, which suits John's style. Whilst slowing building up a big Queenside push, John found himself pressured by Tim's counterattack in the centre. Tim pressed on with a brilliant concept that had one big flaw, it left his Queen en prise, and John happily nabbed it to end Tim's reserves aspirations.

Mitchel Bailey versus Jamie Brotheridge was postponed. Robert Bailey versus Michael Schreenan, Darren Young versus Joel Beggs, John Abson versus Scott Stewart and James Eldridge versus Peter Miitel were all played earlier.
